@TheAngiejolie If you are using linux then execute the following commands

sudo sh -c "echo UUID=`diskutil info /Volumes/WD\ SmartWare/ | grep 'UUID' | awk '{print $NF}'` none hfs rw,noauto 0 0 >> /etc/fstab"

else in windows

go to: Control Panel >>>> System >>>> Hardware >>>> Device Manager

in the list that shows up, click on the little plus logo next to DVD/CD-ROM Drives

there should one titled "WD Virtual CD 1110 USB Device" is your culprit.

right click and disable it

How do you do the same with mac? I also wanna use it as normal portable hard disk... I just wanna use my USB port and load files over to it.

Hope you can help me!

Thanks!

@TheAngiejolie

Go to WD website and download the new update for it which gives the option to disable the built in software.

[geebones]

2.5" Portable Hard Drive

[napoleaninlondon]

Its the same there is no difference.

[geebones]

I Found out its just the backup software andd its little smaller

4 minutes presentation for that piece of drive. Incredible!, I could make that presentation in lest than 1 minutes. the camera was wobbly making viewing uncomfortable. I suggest you rehearse a presentation, get feedback first, then, upload your videos if you want to make a huge impact on customer buying decision. Good Luck
